Are there any differences in the Class of insulating gloves?

In general there are five classes ofelectrical equipmentsafety available, categorized as Class 00 to Class 4. Thesegloves for electrical shocksare designed as contact level hand protection when exposed to electrical environments. After running on a safety assessment the right class of insulating gloves must be selected for protection against general voltage range,arc flash protectionand other electrical hazards works.Thesepersonal hand protectiongears are classified according to the voltage insulation capacity, ozone resistance, acid and temperature defiance as well as wear and tear durability.Class 4 insulated glovesfor instance; maintain a dynamic50 cal protection, while Class 2 is resistant against lower voltages. Similarly,Class 3 dielectric bootsoffer higher protection to a Class 0.Moreover, insulation gloves must be reliable and manufactured under worldwide safety standards. Besides their durability and receiving value, they must be tested before market release to prevent any electricalshock andmid-operation incidents. Compliance with regulations such as IEC 60903 and EN 60903 standards guarantees the gloves safety as each pair is individually tested and then certified before releasing to customers.Beside classes,electrical equipment glovesare arranged under three major types:

• Standard:
  Standard insulating glovesare manufactured from natural rubber, which guarantees effective piezoelectric properties. Due to the non-resistance feature to puncture and abrasion, it is highly recommended to top these gloves with a pair of electrical leather gloves.
• Mechanical:
  As the name indicates,mechanical insulation glovesare engineered for protection against mechanical tear and puncture. Unlike the standard varieties, there is no need to use over gloves with these types of electrical hand protection ppt.
• ASTM D120 Tested for:
  American Society for Testing and Materials or ASTM is the most extensive and notable advanced safety standard organization, which makes the buyer sure of the quality and claims of an insulating pair ofhigh-voltage safety glovesthroughout utilization.

Raychem RPG is one of the most innovative safety product suppliers in the market, never failing to deliver what they promise; electrical safety at work place. Their glove sizes range from 8 to 12, which meets the size demands for men and women. Let’s look at the features before diving into the models;

Models of Electrical OverGloves

ESOLV Overgloves

Abrasion free, protective and stylish, these gloves are classified as Class 00, and Class 0, handling currents up to 1000V.

ESOMV Overgloves

A perfect over-worn design forelectrical latex gloves, they can resist strong mechanical impacts, and voltages up to 36,000V. They cover Class 1, 2, 3, and 4 categories.

Insulating UnderGloves

Theseshort glovesare the first line of hand protection inelectrical safety. It is the innermost layer that comes in contact with skin and assists the top layers against conductivity. Here are some key specifications.

Model:

ESU Under Gloves

They are available in natural cotton color, white, which comes in a single size that fits any requirement. The moisture absorbent feature of these gloves helps better mobility and reduces conductivity risks.

RAAH Insulating Boots

Final Words

Choose the insulating gloves according to their utility, sizing and always match them with other correspondent safety equipment such as thestep voltages protection boots. Furthermore, inflate each safety glove by gently blowing into it to ensure its functionality and to avoid any injuries.
